A SIMPLE PRAYER

Spirit of God,
Your blazing love encircles our embodied selves with praise and gratitude.
Source of illumination and guidance,
Be the radiant Light that directs our steps into discovering concrete, creative and
encouraging ways of integrating our body and soul in participative liturgy.

Sharpen our senses that we may feel you connecting us
In the daily events of life;
Hear and listen to your voice beckoning us to be rooted in you;
Savor every bit of you goodness multiplied every moment
If we only dare to awaken more fully our consciousness;
See you walking patiently with us on the road to growing together in faith.
Make our bodies eloquent in expressing who we are as you dream us to be.
And may we be eternally blessed with the goodness you reveal to us every day!
Amen.
By Sr. Rochee P. Austria, ICM

What is IEC?

A Eucharistic Congress is an international gathering of people aimed at promoting an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Catholic Church. The Roman Ritual De Sacra Communione et de Cultu Mysterii Eucharistici extra Missam defines the Congress as “a pause for commitment and prayer to which a particular Church invites the universal Church”. During this time “the celebration of the Eucharist becomes the center and vortex of all forms of piety, of theological and pastoral reflections, of social commitment”.
